Introduction

Water drop photography is an interesting form of photography. It involves shooting water drops at really high shutter speeds.Most of the breath taking photos that you see on Internet require a really complicated setup and a high lit environment. But today I will be writing about how you can shoot amazing water droplets without a really complicated setup or lighting. I'll be showing you the entire process of shooting it without a external flash.

Remember, it's not easy but its also not difficult to master water drop photography. 

Why do I get darker photos at high shutter speeds?
